The Violence Project

With the 4oth anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. approaching and the recent tragedies involving public school students, I thought it would be appropriate to share a video that I think has not lost an ounce of its relevancy. It is a speech by Robert F. Kennedy, entitled “The Mindless Menace of Violence.” It was given April 5, 1968, one day after the assassination of Dr. King. Enjoy.

An anti-violence rally at George Washington High School turned ugly Thursday when a series of fights broke out in a crowd of students being dismissed for the day.
